CHARGERS: SS Brandon Taylor signs deal

Strong safety Brandon Taylor was the last member of the Chargers 2012 draft class to sign with the team. He did so on Monday, making the Chargers just the fifth NFL franchise to lock up their entire draft class.

Taylor signed a four-year contract. The Chargers wasted little time getting these deals done. The first wave of contract agreements came Tuesday, when first-round linebacker Melvin Ingram and second-round defensive end Kendall Reyes agreed to terms. Seventh-round cent David Molk signed the next that same day.

Taylor was the final deal to get finished, although he did not miss a workout while contract terms were ironed out. The speed in which these signings were completed has been aided by the relatively rigid rookie wage scale negotiated into the latest collective bargaining agreement.

The rookies have been working out at Chargers Park since Friday, when a three-day rookie minicamp commenced. The young players are now working out with the veteran players on a voluntary basis.

The Chargers also added a pair of players. They signed third-year cornerback Arthur Hobbs, who played at Mount Miguel High and Grossmont College, and first-year defensive lineman Garrett Brown.
